A concept for an Arabic-first headless storefrontA concept for an Arabic-first headless storefront
An internal concept study exploring how a large-catalogue retailer could move from a straining monolith to a bilingual, performance-first headless storefront.
These are internally developed concept studies created to show how Aman-Cloud approaches product and engineering decisions. They are not commissioned client work, and any scenarios or targets are illustrative rather than measured production results.
Illustrative scenario
Consider a retail brand whose legacy store buckles under peak-season traffic, whose mobile pages load in seconds rather than milliseconds, and whose Arabic experience — the majority of its market — is a bolted-on afterthought. Marketing waits weeks for campaign pages. This concept explores the replatform.
Proposed approach
- 01
Propose a headless architecture: commerce operations platform behind a Next.js storefront for everything customers touch.
- 02
Design Arabic-first with true RTL layouts rather than mirrored English.
- 03
Edge-render product pages with search tuned for mixed Arabic/English queries.
- 04
Include a visual page builder so marketing ships campaign pages without an engineering queue.
Target outcomes — not measured
- Sub-second mobile loads at peak traffic
- An Arabic experience designed first, not mirrored
- Campaign pages in hours, without engineering involvement
Proposed stack
- Next.js
- Shopify
- Algolia
- Vercel
- Sanity
